Comment (by heywoodj123@…):
Ah, OK, I think I see the issue. Are changes to torrc supposed to be made
by editing
/Users/heywood/Library/Application Support/TorBrowser-Data/Tor/torrc
or
/Applications/Firefox_Tor_7.5a2.app/Contents/Resources/TorBrowser/Tor/torrc
before (re)starting TBB? As I noted in my original report, under normal
conditions on my machine, with TBB running:
* the former is an empty file;
* making changes to the latter (with TBB not running) and then launching
TBB doesn't do anything; and
* making changes to torrc-defaults in the latter's directory DOES result
in a second SocksPort.
(FWIW, I'm checking for open ports using `nmap -v localhost -p 9000-9200`
.)
If editing the former is the correct way to go, then I'm all set and this
ticket can be closed. But in that case I would suggest adding this info to
the appropriate place in the Tor/TBB documentation.
